IPL 2021, PBKS vs RR, Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals : It was a clash of two sides led by 2 Indian captains but it was Sanju Samson's Rajasthan which pulled off a Royal win and beat Punjab by 2 runs to register its 4th win in 8 games. Punjab Kings on the other hand were handed its 6th loss in 9 outings.
KL Rahul's decision to put Rajasthan Royals into bat seemed to have backfired when they raced to 116/2 within 12 overs. But that's when their innings collapsed. Wickets at regular intervals meant that Rajasthan were bowled out for 185. In reply, Punjab was off to a flying start as KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal stitched together a 120-run stand.
